Setup
1. Charging Your Earbuds
Before first use, fully charge your Skullcandy Indy Evo earbuds and charging case. Connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the port at the bottom of the case and to a power source. The LED lights on the case will indicate the charging status. A full charge provides approximately 30 hours of total battery life, with 6 hours on a single earbud charge.
The earbuds feature Rapid Charge: just 10 minutes in the charging case provides approximately 1 hour of listening time.
2. Pairing with Your Device
The Skullcandy Indy Evo earbuds utilize Bluetooth 5.0 for stable connectivity.
- Ensure your earbuds are in the charging case with the lid open.
- On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), go to the Bluetooth settings.
- Select "Skullcandy Indy Evo" from the list of available devices.
- The LED light on the earbuds will indicate when they are in pairing mode and connected.
3. Achieving a Secure Fit
The Indy Evo earbuds come with various sizes of silicone ear tips and ear wings to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Experiment with different sizes to find the best fit for your ears. The ear wings are designed to lock the earbuds into place, making them suitable for intense movements like running or jumping.
Operating Instructions
Media Controls
The Skullcandy Indy Evo earbuds feature touch-sensitive controls on the side (where the Skullcandy logo is located). These controls allow you to manage your audio playback and calls without needing to access your connected device.
- Play/Pause: Tap once on either earbud.
- Next Track: Double-tap the right earbud.
- Previous Track: Double-tap the left earbud.
- Volume Up: Press and hold the right earbud.
- Volume Down: Press and hold the left earbud.
- Activate Voice Assistant: Triple-tap either earbud.
- Answer/End Call: Tap once on either earbud.
- Reject Call: Press and hold either earbud.
EQ Modes
The Indy Evo offers three Equalizer (EQ) modes to optimize your listening experience:
- Music Mode: Standard audio profile.
- Podcast Mode: Enhances vocals for clear speech.
- Movie Mode: Provides enhanced bass and volume for a more immersive experience. This mode is generally recommended for the best overall sound quality.
You can switch between these modes using the touch controls. Refer to the quick start guide for specific tap sequences.

Ambient Mode
The Indy Evo earbuds include an Ambient Mode, which allows you to hear your surroundings without removing the earbuds. This is useful for conversations or when you need to be aware of your environment.
- Activate/Deactivate Ambient Mode: This function is controlled via the touch-sensitive area on the earbuds. Consult the quick start guide for the specific tap sequence.
Mono Mode
Both earbuds can be used independently in mono mode. This allows you to listen to audio with just one earbud while the other is in the case or not in use.
Note: If both earbuds are in use and the right earbud is placed back into the charging case, you may need to manually re-pair the left earbud from your device's Bluetooth settings for music to continue playing.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and hygiene of your earbuds. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the earbuds and charging case. For earwax buildup on the ear tips, gently remove the tips and clean them with a mild soap solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
Water and Dust Resistance
The Skullcandy Indy Evo earbuds are IP55 sweat, water, and dust resistant. This means they are protected against limited dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. They are suitable for workouts and light rain, but should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
- Earbuds not pairing together: If only one earbud is playing audio, place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid for a few seconds, then open it again. If the issue persists, try resetting the earbuds (refer to the quick start guide for specific reset instructions) and re-pairing them with your device.
- Earbuds falling out of case: The magnets in the charging case are not extremely strong. Exercise caution when handling the case, as the earbuds may fall out if dropped.
- Audio lag during video playback: The Indy Evo earbuds utilize Bluetooth 5.0, which minimizes audio lag. If you experience significant lag, ensure your device's software is up to date and try re-pairing the earbuds.
- Sound quality issues: Experiment with the different EQ modes. The Movie Mode often provides a more dynamic sound with enhanced bass and volume.
